Here in THE FOREST OF FOREVER dwells the last Minotaur, and here
too are the other lingering dwellers in that folk-whispered country
where dwell the beasts that are human and the humans that are
beasts...
Also in this series: DAY OF THE MINOTAUR
Thomas Burnett Swann (1928 - 1976) was an American poet, critic
and fantasy author. The bulk of Swann's fantasy fits into a rough
chronology that begins in ancient Egypt around 2500 BC and
chronicles the steady decline of magic and mythological races such
as dryads, centaurs, satyrs, selkies and minotaurs. The coming of
more "advanced" civilisations constantly threatens to destroy their
pre-industrial world, and they must continually seek refuge
wherever they can. They see the advent of Christianity as a major
tragedy; the Christians regard magic and mythological beings as
evil and seek to destroy the surviving creatures, although some
manage to survive and preserve some of their old ways through
medieval times down to the late 19th Century and perhaps the
20th.
